Don’t forget when they were recently asked why, uniquely among hgtv shows, they had ZERO gay couples in their history, and they were like “oh no gays ever asked!!” Riiight.

That’s so odd. I’ve never been to Texas, but I immediately think Branch Dividians and fireball when I hear Waco.

They supposedly belong to an independent Christian church that makes the Southern Baptist Church look progressive. Chip also went to Baylor which is the opposite of liberal (they okayed dancing on campus in the 90s I believe). I have way too many Southern Baptist cousins including some that are missionaries and

I stopped watching them after 1. I saw chip wearing a Blue Lives Matter bracelet in the show, and 2. I found out they go to a church that is specifically anti LGBT.

I still cannot wrap my head around Waco being any sort of tourist destination. I was speaking to this Australian and after mentioning I went to college in Austin, she was like “oh! By Waco, I’ve been there.”

No. There are Baptists in Waco. That’s all there is in Waco.

Are there enough wannabe posh people in Waco to buy all the shit they’re trying to sell? And all their flipped houses with the shiplap and clocks?

Oh, it lives up to the nickname plenty already.

It’s the worst when a parent is considered cooler than you. I know this from when I was young. My dad was the dude that all my friends smoked weed with.

I’ve been mistaken for my husband’s daughter a few times. We’re only a year apart so I have to tamper my happy dance since he’s all “how old do they think I am”.

My mom worked in higher education around the time that Mr. Smuttins and I were in grad school. It lead to MomSmuttins trying to drop the knowledge on us at bars, only to later ask, “Besides iced tea, what are the other ingredients in a Long Island Iced Tea?” We were 💀💀 from 🤣😂 and then had to drive MomSmuttins 🚗

I took my 16 year old in for a haircut the other day. When he was done, the girl (she couldn’t have been more than 19 herself) called over and asked me if I wanted to see how my little brother’s new haircut looked. I almost did a happy dance right there.

Mine would not let me walk him into climbing camp after I went in the first day to let his instructor know about his asthma & kissed his head on the way out. I get a hug in the car though so I guess that’s something.

Dropped my daughter off at orientation at the age of 38; when I stopped to ask directions to her dorm from some Official University Representatives (students) they asked for my student ID. As a parent, you take your wins when they come!

My mom got blackout at my favorite bar when I was in college by drinking bourbon and waters trying to keep up with my guy friends, who were borderline alcoholics. She smoked cigs with them and regaled them with stories of her drug-fueled youth and was almost arrested for having her drink outside of the bar. It was

And if you can do it with shirtless hotties it’s win/win!

Delicious! One place was Italian, the other was Irish, both were being staffed by some mobster’s Mama who liked cooking food from the Old Country.

Listen, when you’re a parent it is your job to be as embarrassing to your kid as humanly possible. That’s just science.

Their target audience also includes the much-dreaded “we are on vacation but refuse to eat anywhere other than a chain restaurant” demographic that I despise so much.

Dear Savannah’s parents: you’re doing it right. Dear stake president: you are not.
